Fred Thompson And His Fake Red Truck

It’s almost as pathetic as Bush’s fake ranch and his "brush clearing".

    The Republicans’ only hope for 2008 lies in the fact that many people can’t tell the difference between tv stunts and reality.

    Thompson’s red truck isn’t true, but it’s truthy.

    This post has crossed the line, Oliver. You obviously are not familiar with Thompson’s history. He was born and raised in rural Tennessee. He worked in factories and lived in public housing to pay his own way through Vanderbilt Law School. You’re being more intellectually dishonest than Thompson ever was with this one. I live in Tennessee, and am quite familiar with Thompson and where he comes from, and the media made a much bigger deal with the truck than the campaign did.

    He also spent 20 years as a lobbyist, bozo.

    Actually, Pedro, Thompson was born in Alabama. Did he lie about that on the campaign trail too?

    You’re kidding me. All Fred Thompson has going for him are TV production values.

    The fact that his red truck is sitting in a driveway till he runs for office proves it is nothing more than a prop.

    And if you fall for it, you deserve to have a govenment that is too incompetent to work for the people.

    Is this dirt? There must be more you can use to discredit the man…right?

    Kind of reminds me of the hybrid car photo-op that Denny Hastert pulled a year or so ago. Driving away from the press in a Ford Explorer hybrid, going around the corner and hopping into an Escalade instead.

    All hat, no cattle.
